Is this still the highest crime zip code in Detroit? Are gangs still prevalent? Is Regent Park near Kelly relatively safe?
48205 is still the RED ZONE.
The E. Seven Mile Bloods are now dormant since their founding leader is currently locked up in prison.
Is it still the highest crime zip code? Yes, I believe so. But crime is down across Detroit, so I believe it's still safer than it used to be.Quote:

You are seriously misinformed if you think The DPD, DEA, and FBI can't stop a small neighborhood clique who cant even go south of 7 Mile without being tortured by opposing sets. C'mon man.
And by the way, Corey and Jig both told, that alone can cripple a whole "gang". But I guess you got to be in these areas to really know that.
Your link doesn't say anything about the crime rate in 48205, and the other neighborhoods are deemed "worst" for a number of combined reasons besides their crime rateQuote:

I tend to stay away from zip code data in Detroit as it is almost over 20 different types of neighborhoods in each individual zip code.Quote:

Thanks for providing that link. I see what you're trying to say nowQuote:

But just because the gang's turf is/was in this specific part of 48205 doesn't mean the crime problems in 48205 were/are all concentrated in this so-called Red Zone. 48205 as a whole may still the highest crime rate in the city compared to other zip codes, which is what the OP was questioning.
... but has the O.P. received the answer he's looking for?
Yes. Stay clear of 48205
Why would anyone ever venture into that area unless you already lived there. Nothing but houses and a few fast food restaurants really.
So, what's the worst? Many areas of the Detroit suburbs inside 8 Mile look bad, but statistically where is the worst?Quote:

The City rolled out a slew of programs to drop in crime in the area. Programs such as an FBI investigation into the 7 mile bloods, Project Ceasefire, ShotSpotter, intensive blight removal, Greenlight along retail corridors, and intensive non-profit and foundation investment into community initiatives.
Walking around the area, it certainly feels like some neighborhoods have turned a leaf [[although they are far from their former glory). Von Steuben, Mohican Regent, Greenbrier, and the north half of Regent Park are still fairly solid; in all of these neighborhoods I see far more blighted houses currently undergoing renovations than being torn down. Pulaski and LaSalle College Park are deteriorating quickly but still have some solid streets. Mapleridge is now Brightmore levels of fucked.
You can make that argument for most of Detroit then. What’s funny is that that area has a lot more resources than a lot of Detroit neighborhoods. Direct line to 8 Mile, Gratiot, small shoppes on 7 Mile, Minutes away from Harper Woods, Warren, Eastpointe, Grosse Point Park. Compare that to people who live on Vandyke & Harper, 6 Mile & Davison, Mt Elliot & Miller, Shoemaker & Cadillac. Those neighborhoods are the real food and business deserts not Regent Park.Quote:

As long as you use wisdom and don’t bother anyone, then Detroiters typically will leave you alone, just mind your business and you’ll be fine in any neighborhood.
